In 3087 there are two homeless people for every one. It's a modern world with an ancient homeless problem. Racial prejudices  are non existent ; whereas, social prejudice is on the rise. It's an era of lost humanitarians. 

Many refugees flee to Airy Alley. The stunning city consits of an ever ending alley. Lilacs bloom in early spring all along the roadway. And summer flowers fill every market. Its quaint .

The alley is topped with umbrellas strung for a purpose of keeping the toxin acid rain from hitting any of the passerbys. The homeless hide and wait until nightfall to sleep under the colorful protection from the fatal elemts that sometimes fall from the sky. Residents are acustomed to such funtional beauty. And, they tolerate the homeless sleeping there as long as the are gone before day break.

Airy Alley is a mountainous City known for its cooler climates. The toxins are bad. Yet, it is the safest corner of the world for those having nowhere else to go.  Due to global warming the world is mostly hot. But, Airy is a step back in time to a calmer moments. It's refreshing and dreamy compared to many other cities.  And so, nearly all the homeless find their way to this crisp corner of the world. 

It's not desert; its not crime ridden; And It has wild fruit trees that feed the growing poor population one day,and make the sick the next. However, times are changing. Residents tire of looking at the poor who fill the beautiful streets. A plan is in the works that is less than honest. Can this generation get things right? Or, will this be same story different characters? Or, Will history re write a new story?  Time will tell.
